Was admiring Janie_Postie's cruiser bicycle the other day & noticed it's got flame patterned tyre treads -how cool would that look on a big fat pair of trike tyres.  |

No grip whatsoever but you'd look pretty cool as you skate across the road on it! Apparently they do an Ed Roth tribute bike in metallic lime green, a hotrod one in matt black & flames with red rims & whitewalls, etc. 300 quid though. I don't usually pay that much for motorbikes, let alone pushbikes!

I think they do a chopped one with extended forks too! See loads of 'em at the hotrod meets & drag races. There's a whole subculture just for custom pedal bikes.

Customised pushbikes!!!!! Check out the home-made moped based on a pushbike. Saw these two during my trip to Phuket Bike Week in Thailand.

I love that Harley! Is that a fully functioning engine or just for show? Seen this miniature working V8? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm9YzdhfO14 |

That's brilliant. It's got 4 distributors by the looks of it!

The same site had a miniature machine gun video a little while ago. Fully functioning. About 6 inches long, mounted on a tripod. No idea what ammo it used but pretty impressive!

Would make an interesting article for the website. I think you've just volunteered to write it! |
